Describe the solution you'd like
There are many requests to enhance cancel objects using thumbnails, which I support. But I have not seen movement here and I can imagine this has some challenges to implement. In meantime, I would like an enhancement to the current cancel object menu to make it more functional, especially when printing many objects with identical names.

Describe how it would work
While printing, keep track of count (N) of objects per layer. Update the menu on each new object to show, which is printing now (current), prior object, ... prior-N, pending, and canceled. Reset N at each layer. This is trivial to track and update so I think it is a small but nice enhancement. E.g.:

  1. bowling_pin [pending]
  2. bowling_pin [CURRENT]
  3. bowling_pin [prior -1]
  4. bowling_pin [canceled]
  5. bowling_pin [prior -2]

Here is why I think this is better. If you are using the "cancel object" menu then you are standing next to the printer. You can clearly see there is a problem, but you may not have seen it happen in time exactly, but can often know relatively when it happened based on bed placement or watching prior passes. Or sometimes you see object fail (tip over) right as tool moves on so no longer current. Note that pending is just all objects not yet touched on that layer, not in order or the very next object. Maybe other labels would be more clear, this is just example.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Thumbnails, obviously. But above should be so simple as to serve as a stopgap until then.

This is for Prusa-Firmware-Buddy since it's related to firmware, not the slicer
